Speculating Screenshots (23rd May 2015)

For most, weekends means two days off work with some much-needed R&R. But for game developers, it’s also a time during which they get to show off what they’ve been working on. I am of course referring to Screenshot Saturday, which involves tweeting screenshots with the #ScreenshotSaturday hashtag. Screenshots which I will be critiquing some of every single Tuesday, in Speculating Screenshots.

Different screenshots from different developers, all working on different games. Some are very much a WIP, while other are from titles rapidly approaching release. These tweets do all have one thing they in common though, which is that they feature actual screenshots (or at the very least, mockups), animated or stills. So without further ado…

Is anyone really surprised by that though? I mean, caves are known for being inhabited by bats, ya know? That said, this bunch does look particularly nasty, on top of being nicely pixellated…

Show of hands, who hasn’t at some point felt a strong desire to smash a cop with a tennis ball? No one, I should hope! Nonetheless, that seems to be the exact kind of mayhem portrayed here. Madness.
